...it's time to bring back things like "creeds" so that we are least aware of these important doctrines? One thing of interest and relevance here is that when I was escaping from a wannabe KJVO "rules" church, one of the important things I did was to remind myself and my family of the real fundamentals, the solas, and such.

Not talking about going back to high church and a short homily and the whole service building up to the "ritual sacrifice" of Communion or anything like that. Just....can we start reminding people of some of the "ground rules" of our faith so that we can recognize when we're offtrack? Please?

...my expectations for Filings may be off, but I use it as a sort of "Drudge Report" for Christian news and info and as such, when I read an article only to discover it is 8 months old (as is this one) or older (as has been the case in the past from time to time), it throws me for a loop.

It would be helpful if they could get a #TBT on them or some other identifier if they are older articles.

Quoting the article, "More than half went on to indicate that Jesus is 'the first and greatest being created by God.'"

That is not heresy, Accurate theology says the Son is uncreated and eternal. When you use the term "Jesus," you include His human nature, which is created. And, although not created first, He is in this sense the "firstborn of all creation," (Colossians 1:15) meaning His human nature surpasses any created entity.

As afore mentioned, His divine nature as the Son has always been. But when you say "Jesus," you are including His human nature, and perhaps even emphasizing it.

When the supposed theologians are surpassed by the ignorant, that is pretty bad.
